RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is one of the best theme park building sim style games that I have ever played. Even though this game may be classed as “classic” as it is over a decade old at this point. It still holds up very well and can easily see an intended 15-minute session turn into a couple of hours.
Your Park, Your Way
The ultimate goal of RollerCoaster Tycoon is, of course, to build the most awesome and let’s not forget, profitable theme park the world has ever seen. While you may think that the game is just all about making dream rollercoasters and putting together a theme park that would make Walt Disney himself green with envy. There is far more strategy to the game than you may think.
You see a huge part of the game is keeping your budget in check. While you may want to expand your park at a rate that is just insane. You may lack the budget to do this so you have to be very smart with the way you go about expanding your park.
Working The Marks!
One way that is fun to make some serious money in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is by fleecing your park patrons for everything they have. You can do this in many different ways, but for me, the best way is by making stuff like your food and drinks as expensive as they can be. Some people may complain about your prices, but the profit margin on stuff like this can be huge and as long as they are having enough fun, you can get away with it.
Keeping your park guests happy and spending money is really addictive. I would change my prices regularly as well as work on keeping my park fresh. Sometimes, you have to just stick with what you have for a while to make some money before you can do a big expansion. Other times you might want to add a new ride here, a new thing there and expand at a slower pace.
Side View Action
Even though it is not the best-looking game in the world, I do feel that RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is a decent enough looking game. It has an isometric viewpoint and this means you can make some pretty crazy rollercoaster designs. It also means that you have a better view for when it comes to actually designing your park. While I like Theme Park, I must say that the isometric view this game has does make designing parks that extra bit easier.
Then divide thatsum of prices by the number of rides you had.You will get an average. Addthe average answer that you got to your parkentrance fee. Than add up the previous costs of therides that you just made free. Rollercoaster tycoon iphone cheats. Make everything in your parkfree. At thispoint, all rides and attractions are free.
What No Sandbox?
While there are some cheats you can use which basically turn the game into a sandbox-style game. There is no way just to screw around which is a bit disappointing. I really think that for the second game they could have added a sandbox mode feature and it would have been great. They did add some real-life “Six Flags” rides though so that is pretty cool.
Even all these years later, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is a game that I can get really addicted to. I love how easy the game is to pick up and play. Then, you can get really in-depth with the game and make sure your park is making some serious money so you can expand it and then make even more money!

A wildly fun primordial Tycoon game.
After playing RollerCoaster Tycoon for a few hours, you’ll find that the fun is wildly contagious. Unlike other strategy games, RollerCoaster Tycoon, perhaps more befitting its corporate master Hasbro than its actual publisher MicroProse, seems more concerned with surrounding the player in the fun parts of managing an amusement park. As a business simulator / park builder, it succeeds admirably.
As with Sawyer’s previous game Transport Tycoon, RollerCoaster Tycoon is not particularly challenging to win. You can blast through all of the pre-made scenarios without a lot of struggle. Most of their challenges are geographical in nature, as in how do you manage to squeeze another ride into your cramped little park? Unlike Bullfrog’s underachieving Theme Park, a game which RollerCoaster Tycoon can’t help but be compared with, it never forces the player to get bogged down in the minutia of running a park. And while you can design your own rides, the supplied ones are more than adequate (and somewhat less frustrating to use due to the slightly clumsy interface of the ride builder).
Although building the perfect coaster is where you’ll eventually spend the majority of your gaming time, you also have do much more to win. This isn’t just about building rollercoasters, but managing the less glorious minutia of running a fun park – all of which the game manages to integrate. You’ll need to manage foot traffic by creating paths to and from your various rides, balance thrill rides with more casual attractions (Ferris wheels and such), set pricing, and hire mechanics, handymen and security guards. The game is divided into scenarios. Only a few are available in the beginning, but once they’re completed, you get access to the rest.

Presentation wise, the sound effects are superb, with giggles and screams, annoying carousel music, and the clanking of coasters. Visually, RollerCoaster Tycoon is nice and sharp. The ridiculous cartoony graphics do a superb job at conveying a lot of information in a typical windows format. Beautiful details abound on a micro level. Little people run around the park all giddy after getting off a very fun ride, and others stumble and fumble their way around, their faces green with the sickness brought by riding a rollercoaster.
Overall, RollerCoaster Tycoon is the most purely entertaining strategy game in ages, one that’s virtually guaranteed to put a smile on the face of even the most jaded gamer. It’s a wildly exuberant game that reminds us that fun is an honorable goal for any entertainment medium, even one as “serious” as a strategy game.
